Hello,
My partner and I are considering building modular duplexes on land that we scrape. We have experience in SFH rentals and renovations (fix and flips), but have zero experience with new construction. As it stands now, we would look to sell the first duplex and cash out, but would consider holding future homes for rentals.
We have done a fair amount of research and talked with professionals in the industry - GCs, lenders, zoning dept, modular builders, subs, etc. Following are the numbers we put together for the strategy. Are we missing anything?
